My Podcast Interview with Rick Sherak of Exogenics

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Rick Sherak, co-founder of Exokinetics, Inc., for the TechLink Health podcast. It was one of the most thought-provoking conversations I’ve had in a while. In this wide-ranging chat, we explored the story behind the Zeen—a groundbreaking upright mobility device that’s reshaping what’s possible for individuals with limited mobility.

The Zeen isn’t just a mobility aid; it’s a beautifully engineered fusion of form and function that allows users to glide, stand, and sit with dignity and ease. It’s unlike anything I’ve encountered—and the inspiration behind its creation is just as compelling as the device itself.

Unlike a wheelchair, the Zeen allows eye-level interactions. As a cardiologist, I’ve seen the harms that isolation can cause. The internet is great, but one of the many lessons we learned from Covid-19 is that the value of in-person human contact cannot be overestimated.

While the Zeen may not be the right fit for everyone, for many who are homebound or reliant on others to get around, it offers the potential for meaningful mobility and a degree of independence that may otherwise be out of reach.

Rick’s passion for innovation and helping others is truly contagious. Tune in to this episode anywhere you listen to podcasts, or through the Spotify link below.

My Podcast Interview with Livia Robic of Withings for BeamO

I recently spoke with Livia Robic of Withings about the BeamO device for the TechLink Health podcast. This handheld consumer device includes a pulse oximeter, a thermometer, a mini-ECG and an electronic stethoscope.

BeamO is designed to help physicians take better care of their patients remotely, and was named one of Time magazine's "Best Inventions of 2024". This was such an interesting and engaging episode, and I can imagine a number of scenarios where this device could make a difference for patients with chronic disease or those recovering from surgery. I’m excited to see what the future holds for BeamO!

My Podcast Interview with Peter Adams for Vielight Inc.

As a podcast host for TechLink Health, I had the opportunity to interview Peter Adams with Vielight Inc. This is a fascinating new technology integrating photobiomodulation for brain health.

The device is already being used by athletes, including former NFL players, for brain recovery protocols. Leading medical centers including UCSF and Harvard, have published research on Vielight, as has the Veterans Administration.

I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation, which you can find anywhere you listen to podcasts, or through the Spotify link below.

My Podcast Interview with Cyber-Security Expert Anand Naik

We all know that cybersecurity is crucial in healthcare to protect sensitive patient data, ensure the integrity of medical devices, and maintain the overall trust in healthcare systems. Whether in the role of physician or patient, we depend on the people and systems working behind the scenes to keep us safe.

As a host of the recent episode of Techlink Health Podcast, I learned a lot from Anand Naik, including how advancements in IoHT/IoMT security and AI-driven protection are being harnessed to safeguard the future of connected health.

For tech-savvy physicians looking for alternatives to clinical medicine, or side gigs in the healthcare sphere, cybersecurity might be an area that could use your expertise and insight.
